Number one is not too stark against the other fabrics.
|
I can only see the background on 1, which sure looks good to me! We're making the Tradewinds quilt next month in our guild. I bought a Little Gatherings Jelly Roll to make mine. Love your batiks too!! Pretty colors!
|
#1 for sure.
|
My vote is #1
|
#1 it is warmer like your other fabrics
|
Definitely #1
|
It depends what you are going for. If you're going for something more mellow or subdued go with the pale yellow. If you want something more stark and prominent, go for the white-ish gray.
|
I like the 2nd, but only because I am leery of white backgrounds showing any smudge of dirt.
|
I like them both too but #2 really makes the batiks and design pop. It also has a more modern feel to it. Just depends on what you are going for.
|
No. 1 gets my vote.
|
I like #2, it picks up on the small cooler colored spots in your batik strips.
|
I like the first one. Cool batiks!!!!
|
I like #1, it seems to blend better with the other fabrics. The other option just doesn't blend.
|
I like #1, not too fond of white anymore.
|
I usually pretend there is no background when I make my fabric selections. I really do not like white on white (frequently chosen by others as the background color), so I choose blocks without an obvious background.
|
I like #1 better... seems to make it softer
|
#1 is much prettier.
|
I like the white!! It makes the colors come out!
|
I like the warmer look of the 1st one but the 2nd one makes your batiks really pop. So I'm sitting on the fence on this. Depends on the look you want to get I think.
|
I like them both... I think it depends on what colors you want to pop. 1 appears to bring out the red and yellow tones while #2 brings out the blues and greens but not as boldly
|
Suzette316 has it right....depends on what you want to emphasize. I personally like the bottom one, which appears blue on my screen!
|
Both are nice but I prefer the warmth of #1.
|
I would do the #1. I would like the #2 if I don't see the #1. Lovely colors.
|
#2 is my favorit. with 1 the blues in the pinwheels look out of place to me since they are the only cool colours but with the cool background they look better and it pops the rest of the colours as well
|
# 1, definitely.
|
I like the first one best.
|
I like #1 too. Definitely warmer and complementing.
|
I like #2 better for its contrast.
|
Me I like the white. It makes the other fabrics stand out. I see most others like the yellow I guess it depends on the look you are going for.
|
#1 the white is to bright for this pattern and colors.
|
Either one would work......I am curious about the pattern.....a jelly roll thing????? looks like fun......
|
I like #1 the best for comfort and #2 for the contrast and pop. So both would work.

When I hear "tradewinds" I think of a tiny island in the ocean, so the light blue fabric seems better suited to me.

|
I like the first one.

|
I like the first one.
|
I like No. 1 as it complements the batiks and lets them take center stage, while the white pops and the batiks don't shine as much. Gorgeous fabric by the way, but I'm partial to batiks. Look forward to seeing what you decide.
